Yassa\, Ph.D DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer’s disease impacts more than 6 million people in the United States alone. Join the UC Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory on February 4\, 2025\, for the 27th Distinguished Lecture on Brain\, Learning\, and Memory\, presented by Dr. Michael Yassa. His lecture\, titled “The Beginning of the End for Alzheimer’s Disease\,” will delve into groundbreaking research and future directions in the fight against this devastating condition. \nIn this program\, you will discover: \n\nThe latest advances in Alzheimer’s disease research\nStrategies to protect and maintain a healthy brain as we age\nEmerging treatments offering hope for those affected by Alzheimer’s\n\nDr. Michael Yassa is a Neuroscience Professor and the James L. McGaugh Endowed Chair in the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory at the University of California\, Irvine.

My lab’s research focuses on understanding how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence adolescent nicotine use\, co-morbid substance abuse\, and relapse. Using innovative CRISPR-Cas9-generated rodent models mimicking human genetic variants\, we investigate the molecular\, neurochemical\, and behavioral mechanisms driving nicotine’s effects on reward and relapse. This talk will highlight key findings on the sex- and genotype-dependent influences of the CHRNA6 3′-UTR SNP on dopamine and norepinephrine systems\, behavioral outcomes in nicotine and methamphetamine co-use\, and nicotine-seeking behavior. These insights provide a framework for exploring targeted therapeutic strategies for adolescent substance use. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Herklotz Conference Center and virtually via Zoom.
